Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .
